Trusted OCD Specialists in
Georgia

Liza Fernandez

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 1996, and specialize in treating OCD. I've received specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat whatever subtype or subtypes you're experiencing. I'll use almost 25 years of experience to guide you so that you can learn how to manage OCD on your own.

Ursula Wright

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I’m going on a decade of experience as a licensed social worker, treating mood & anxiety disorders, addiction, domestic violence, and OCD. I’ve learned that people struggling with disorders have a hard time finding access to a professional diagnosis. NOCD changes that. As a specialized OCD therapist, I’ll provide you with a diagnosis and, if you show signs of OCD, I’ll use the most trusted method in treating OCD called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is well-researched and proven to work.

Ruthie Brooks

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I have worked in the mental health field for the last 18 years, and now I specialize in treating OCD. I was drawn to NOCD because I saw how many people I can help with proper treatment. Having worked in the mental health industry for quite some time, I often saw OCD misdiagnosed. NOCD allows me to treat people with OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, developed specifically to treat all OCD subtypes. It’s well-researched and proven to work, and I think you’ll be surprised with how much progress you can make in such little time.

Kenneth Hosier

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I’ve been licensed as a counselor since 2000. In addition to working with NCOD, I run a private practice where I work a lot with anxiety cases, trauma, and other disorders. In reflection, I feel like my career has led me to become specialized in OCD treatment. I’ve heard many personal stories and challenges that have trained me to deal with all OCD subtypes. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat OCD because of its proven ability to work.

Robyn Pavlick

Licensed Therapist, LPC

Having been licensed since 2013, I’ve worked with people facing severe mental health challenges such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and more. I’ve also spent time treating women at an inpatient substance abuse facility, seeing clients that exhibited OCD symptoms. As an OCD specialist, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, something I have experience using before arriving at NOCD. ERP is effective and proven to work for treating any OCD subtype.

Lindsay Prizer

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

I’ve been working as a licensed therapist for over 10 years, and with training from top clinicians at NOCD, I now specialize in treating OCD. I’ve been working mostly in academic and medical settings in addition to holding a private practice, helping young and older adults overcome their anxiety and mood disorders. During our sessions, I’ll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to teach you how to manage your OCD on your own with confidence.

Vic Chaperon

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I have over 20 years of experience practicing psychotherapy, running my private practice for over 15 years specializing in OCD. I’ve also gained experience working in hospitals and clinics where I treated anxiety, depression, relationship & family dynamics, and more. The most effective approach to treat OCD is known as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is backed by research and is incredibly effective in showing you how to manage your OCD with confidence.

Melanie Dideriksen

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been a licensed therapist for almost 9 years, treating people for OCD as well as other mental health challenges. Having spent time with top clinicians at NOCD, I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to those battling any subtype of OCD. ERP is the gold standard of OCD treatment and is not only backed by evidence but gives you a realistic chance to see progress within a short period of time. I’ve dealt with OCD myself, so I know what it’s like to break away and recover from OCD obsessions and compulsions.

Michelle Meadows

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been a licensed therapist for over 10 years, with more than 8 years of experience working in outpatient cases in community health. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat your OCD effectively, with a background in helping people deal with severe mental illnesses. My favorite part of ERP is that it’s a straightforward approach to addressing the problem, allowing us to create ERP exercises and solutions designed around you and what you’re going through.

Toni Bryan

Licensed Therapist, LPC

As a therapist, I am warm but direct. You're here because you're tired of the challenges that have made life more difficult. I'll do what I can to help you on this journey. I work to create an environment where your autonomy is intact, and you are cared for and respected. When I'm not working, if the weather is on my side, I'm hiking a mountain trail, biking, trying to roller skate, gardening, or camping. When indoors, I usually knit and listen to a book or podcast, but music is my best friend. I enjoy cultivating my tiny vinyl collection and going to shows.

Hannah Quackenbush

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My approach to treating OCD is empathetic and challenging. Remaining in the bubble you've created to appease OCD symptoms won't result in any changes. We can work together to tackle these obstacles, which at times may be uncomfortable and distressing. I strive to be trauma-informed in all my therapeutic endeavors. This means coming from a place of compassion and empathy while creating a roadmap together for recovery, so we know what's next. Outside of work, I have a puppy that's about 18 months old. She's a Cane Corso/pitbull mix and full of energy. We frequent parks, go for long walks, and explore new aspects of the city. I think her favorite place is a taqueria near our house, probably for the chips. During sessions, you may catch a peek of her as she naps beside my desk.

Nathlie Plummer

Licensed Therapist, LPC

My approach to treating OCD includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is the most-recommended treatment for OCD. I use a collaborative approach, which allows for your input on areas of focus. Outside of work, I love to indulge in the arts with friends and family: Live music, crafts, film, literature, painting, and exploring the art of mother nature, the great outdoors.

Candace Gillespie

Licensed Therapist, ED

My approach to treating OCD includes allowing you to disclose your obsessions and compulsions, putting them in a hierarchy, and beginning to work on them using exposure response prevention (ERP), cautiously. During my free time, I love being with my husband and son. I like to shop, read, do puzzles, and just relax at home.

Juliana Carter

Licensed Therapist, MED

As a therapist, I have a friendly and calm presence. I also like to use an appropriate amount of humor so the process is more enjoyable. Outside of work, I enjoy making TikToks, basketball, traveling, reading, and listening to personal growth books and podcasts. I'm a lifelong learner.

Toli Van Buskirk

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, and validation. I'll meet you where you are, and we'll take things at your pace while I gently encourage you to keep doing the hard work. When I'm not working, you'll find me at the baseball field watching my favorite Little League player or shopping with my teenage daughter. I love arts and crafts, breathing new life into things headed to the trash.

Pamela Morris

Licensed Therapist, MS

I take a behavioral approach to treating OCD. I love to see people gain insight into themselves, and why they think and behave the way they do. Some fun facts about me: I love doing hair and makeup, and I played the flute in high school.

Mary Beard-Curry

Licensed Therapist, MS

I take a holistic approach to treating OCD. I primarily utilize exposure response therapy and psychoeducation while addressing co-occurring issues. I look at individuals as real people with real problems who need a real, relatable person as a therapist. When I'm not doing therapy, I love dancing, playing board games, relaxing, exercising outside, traveling, cracking jokes, and eating delicious food.

Michael Britt

Licensed Therapist, MS

My approach to OCD would include helping the member understand that they have the power in their treatment and that we are on a journey together to help address what is going on in their lives. Also, that there would be no judgment and every emotion is important, no matter how small one may feel that it is.

Glenn Gray

Licensed Therapist, MS

My approach to treating OCD is supportive, non-judgmental, and hopeful. I'm here to create a space for you to feel seen and heard without shame. I believe wholeheartedly that anyone can reach a place where OCD, although still present, doesn't impact their life any longer.
